ÀLAVITA is all about fresh pasta and local ingredients—from Agnolotti to Tortellini to Garganelli, Linguini to Pappardelle—created freshly every day using Northwest flour and local eggs. A restaurant whose name means “to life,” (Well actually two words– ‘alla’ ‘vita’ –that we put together to create one) ÀLAVITA is a great place for celebrating life with good friends and family alike. We offer craft cocktails, open kitchen and a warm, welcoming setting in the heart of Downtown Boise.

    Always a great dining experience at Alavita. On top of that they do an exceptional job of providing many gluten free items (along with fresh gluten free pasta!) that are clearly indicated on the menu.

    Amazing experience with great customer service. Our server Shana was professional, personal, and top notch! The plates were well thought out and care taken to the ingredients. Loved everything about the evening. Wish I had more room to try more things. Thanks again for making our last night in Boise memorable.
